The two armies lay near each other for some time inactive, till at length the learned men on both sides effected a reconciliation ; and it was agreed that each should rest satisfied with the districts and forts in his possession, nor in future molest the territories of the other. The author of the Towareekh Alfy relates, that in the year 835 Ahmud Shah Bahmuny, hearing that the Prince Mahomed Khan, son of the King of Guzerat, was employed on a distant expedition to Nundoorbar, marched against him; upon which Ahmud Shah Guzeratty hastened to assist his son; but the Deccanies, on his approach, retreating four marches, the King of Guzerat returned towards his capital, and encamped on the banks of the Tapty. Here he learned that the Deccanies had laid siege to Tumbola, upon which he moved against them; and an engagement ensued, which lasted from morning till sunset without being decided in favour of either army; but both the Kings, during the night, retreated to their own country, without having previously made peace. Other historians have also related the particulars of the siege of Tumbola; but as transcribing them all would occasion useless prolixity, I pass them over. - [Previous: 74.3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.3.2) - [Next: 74.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.3.4) - [Up: 74.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.general.tarikh-i-firishta~en-briggs.74.3.3) · Pramāṇa
